The Vampire Film: Undead Cinema
ISBN: 9780231162012 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. This introductory volume offers an elegant analysis of the enduring appeal of the cinematic vampire. From Georges Melies' early cinematic experiments to Twilight and Let the Right One In, the history of vampires in cinema can be organized by a handful of governing principles that help make sense of this movie monster's remarkable fecundity. Among these principles are that the cinematic vampire is invariably about sex and the vexed human relationship with technology, and that the vampire is always an overdetermined body condensing what a culture considers other. This volume...

Scare Tactics: Supernatural Fiction by American Women, with a New Preface
ISBN: 9780823229857 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Scare Tactics identifies an important but overlooked tradition of supernatural writing by American women. Jeffrey Weinstock analyzes this tradition as an essentially feminist attempt to imagine alternatives to a world of limited possibilities. In the process, he recovers the lives and works of authors who were important during their lifetimes and in the development of the American literary tradition, but who are not recognized today for their contributions. Between the end of the Civil War and roughly 1930, hundreds of uncanny tales were published by women in the periodical press and in...

Approaches to Teaching Poe's Prose and Poetry
ISBN: 9781603290111 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 241 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Edgar Allan Poe is a popular author, and students have often read his work by the time they reach the college or university classroom. His writings have inspired film, television, and musical adaptations--sources for much of students' knowledge about Poe. Thus the challenge for teachers is to reacquaint students with Poe as a complex literary figure. This volume equips teachers with the tools necessary to meet that challenge. Part 1 identifies the most frequently taught Poe texts, reviews useful editions of his work, and suggests secondary sources on Poe as well as television, film,...
